just got back from LAS...

Thanks for your words! I read that letter myself, too. It is a very good and reasonable letter. I don't realize CX has many problems. I used to be their old "green" member for a while, and my father used to be a "gold" member. My father was constantly upgraded into F class, even when he used points to upgrade to J class. He also got upset by CX and its high fare from HKG to LAX. He switched to CI... (cheaper too).

How is BKK as a transit point? I guess I have to finalize things during the next few days.

Yes, I realize that the BKK-LAX on TG was one way fare... still better than HKG-LAX OW ($2000+). In the USA, TG has quite a number of promotion (also due to its rather outdated J class cabin, too.)

I miss your old name -- Celestar340
